Title: Continent ostomy port
Inventor: DYCK PETER M VON
IPC: A61F2/04
Filed: 1999-01-28
Granted: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A continent ostomy port device has a face plate defining an aperture alignable with the opening of a stoma in the user's body and a closure adjacent to the aperture is adapted to permit covering and uncovering of the aperture in the face plate. A catheter extends from one side of the face plate proximally, and one end of the catheter is disposed within the ostomy site when the port device is in use. The catheter has continuous exterior and interior side walls, the latter defining a major lumen and is sized and shaped for non-surgical insertion through a stoma to a sufficient distance that the presence of the catheter within the stoma provides a barrier which reduces the incidence of prolapse, without the use of extraneous, externally applied materials or additional surgery. A removable cartridge fits snugly and slideably within the major lumen of the catheter of the device so as to prevent inadvertent escape of body waste material from the stoma when the cartridge is in place, without use of an ostomy bag, and to clean the interior side wall of the catheter as the cartridge is pressed into the major lumen. An anti-reflux valve is activated to prevent escape of body waste and deactivated for passage of fluid. Retaining structure is connected to the catheter, and is non-surgically, snugly fittable into the stoma, to cause the port device to be self-retaining in a normal use position within a stoma, without surgery or fixation materials.

Title: Modular block retaining wall system and method of constructing same
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT A
IPC: E02D17/18
Filed: 1995-05-22
Granted: 1998-07-30
Abstract: A modular wall block is formed with a trough or recess in a top surface configured to frictionally receive fingers of a rake-like grid connection device. The fingers are engaged through apertures in an end portion of a grid-like sheet of material with the spine of the rake overlying the grid-like sheet of material, the remainder of the grid-like sheet of material extending rearwardly to reinforce the fill behind a retaining wall formed from a plurality of courses of the wall blocks. Slat members are selectively received in one of a pair of grooves defined in each side of the wall blocks with portions of the slats extending above the upper surface of the block to contact a surface of an opening formed in a superimposed block for positioning the front faces of the blocks in the retaining wall relative to each other in either a vertically aligned or rearwardly offset relationship. The slats also include portions projecting laterally from the sides of the block and spanning the space between adjacent blocks in a course of blocks to position juxtaposed blocks in each course relative to each other. Alternatively, the rake includes, in addition to fingers projecting downwardly from the spine, tabs projecting upwardly from the spine. The tabs engage a slot in a bottom of the wall block for positioning, depending upon the direction of extension of the tabs, the front faces of the blocks in the retaining wall relative to each other in either a vertically aligned or vertically offset relationship.

Title: Payphone metering in a wireless telephone system
Inventor: ROBBINS BARRY R
IPC: H04M17/00
Filed: 1997-06-11
Granted: 2001-03-29
Abstract: The wireless system includes one or more payphones from which users may initiate payphone calls. A mobile switching center connects telephone calls initiated from wireless payphones to external telephone systems such as the public switch telephone network (PSTN). To meter charges incurred during the telephone call within an external system, the external system transmits periodic metering pulses to the mobile switching center. Each pulse is representative of a predetermined amount of money associated with the telephone call. The rate at which the periodic pulses are transmitted to the mobile switching center depends upon the current billing rate and may be affected by, for example, the time of day. Rather than the forwarding all of the metering pulses to the wireless payphone, therefore consuming a portion of the bandwidth available for wireless telephone calls, the mobile switching center calculates a steady state billing rate from the metering pulses, then transmits only the steady state billing rate to the wireless payphone. The ireless payphone calculates charges associated with the telephone call based upon the steady state billing rate and displays the resulting charges to the user. Once the mobile switching center has transmitted the steady state billing rate signal to the wireless payphone, a second steady state billing signal is not transmitted unless and until the billing rate for the telephone call changes as detected from a change in the rate of received metering pulses from the external system. In one arrangement, the mobile switching center filters out all metering pulses and transmits only steady state billing rate signals to the wireless payphone. In another arrangement, the mobile switching center transmits metering pulse signals to the wireless payphone until the steady state rate has been determined, then transmits a single steady state billing rate signal. If the billing rate changes, the mobile switching center again forwards metering pulses to the wireless payphone until the new steady state billing rate can be determined.

The jet nozzle is spaced from the inside of the suction nozzle and at the center of the suction nozzle to form a circumferential passage, the passage communicating with an evacuation pipe. The nozzle head also includes a structure to supply compressed air into the chamber through the gap in order to encounter and carry with it toward the passage liquid and impurities, cooperating with the suction effect maintained in the chamber and the evacuation pipe. The compressed air also has the advantage of drying the roll treated with liquid.
